Nearly Home!

We are praying that we receive the news this week that Tricia is free to go home for good. Her staples and trach are out, her strength and breathing continues to improve, and she is finally gaining weight! School starts for our kids August 26, and it has been our goal for the past few months to be home by that date.

Tricia has been scheduled for the nissen fundoplication in late September if it decided that she still needs it, and of course we'll be back to Duke every couple of weeks for appts, but it will be so nice to be back in our own home and getting back to a more "normal" routine after being away for so long.

Thank you for the update!! Praying with y'all that you can get home in time for school to start- I can only imagine how much that is on both of your hearts! Thank you for taking the time to share- I love what another reader said: "thank you for letting us all be part of your extended family"! Hope you have a wonderful day! Prayers continuing!:) Rebecca

Rejoicing with you all in these next huge steps. We continue to pray for you all and especially strength and health for Tricia. Thank you, Nathan, for updating~so good to hear! And may it be a wonderfully normal school year for your children!

What wonderful news - I just caught up on a bunch of posts and it's amazing to see all your positive progress! As ever, Tricia, Gwyneth and you Nate are a wonderful inspiration and reminder of the power of faith and prayers. I'll keep praying for healing and strength for you.
